AceShowbiz - Ben Affleck, 51, was spotted leaving their opulent residence in his black Mercedes at 9 P.M. on Sunday, June 9, after spending four hours at the mansion. The pair, who purchased the home for $61 million in May 2023, are now asking for "around $65 million" for the 43,000-square-foot estate. This comes after the couple enlisted realtor Santiago Arana from The Agency to handle the sale, according to sources reported by TMZ.
The mansion boasts extraordinary amenities including 17 bedrooms, 30 bathrooms, parking for 80 vehicles, an indoor sports complex, a sports bar, outdoor lounging areas, and a zero-edge pool. Despite the luxurious features, insiders informed media outlets that the property has been on the market for about two weeks without securing a buyer.
Rumors of a split have intensified, especially after Affleck moved to a $100,000-per-month rental in Brentwood, closer to his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their children. Also, Jennifer Lopez, 54, has been seen house hunting with her producing partner, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas.
Although Lopez has continued to wear her wedding ring, the couple's recent interactions suggest growing tensions. Affleck was seen with and without his wedding band, and while the duo did attend his son Samuel's basketball game together, they noticeably avoided much physical affection.
Speculation over the couple's relationship status ramped up after The Daily Mail reported listing updates on the mansion's Zillow page on June 5. Affleck's decision to end the relationship is reportedly due to the overwhelming attention it brought. "Ben has to protect himself, and that's why he initiated the separation," a source said.
The unfolding events have left fans and media speculating about the future of the iconic duo. Whether they manage to sell their palatial estate and what the next step in their relationship will be remains to be seen, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats.
